BOSTON (SR) - Massachusetts Democrat Martha Coakley's campaign is said to be "livid" over President Obama's refusal to personally help her battle Republican Scott Brown for Ted Kennedy's vacated Senate seat.
"We're dying here, and what's Obama doing? Freaking nothing, that's what. He's a cowardly little punk," said one angry Coakley campaign staffer.
Most political analysts believe the President is trying to distance himself from the rapidly sinking Coakley, especially in the wake of election losses in Virginia and New Jersey, not to mention his embarrassing failure to land the 2016 Olympics for Chicago, an assertion the White House flatly denies.
"President Obama is always there for our party, and would have been delighted to help this Gloakey person, whoever he his," White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters Friday. "Unfortunately, we were not made aware of Mr. Gloakey's request for support until this morning when it was too late, as the President has a haircut and some other things already scheduled."
My comments: I guess the fetid stench of fail emanating from the Coakley campaign wafts all the way to Washington. Let's enjoy a delicious margarita while we savor that fragrant bouquet!
UPDATE! The White House has just announced the President will fly to Massachusetts in an attempt to bolster Martha Coakley's failing campaign.
Robert Gibbs told reporters Friday afternoon, "The President has determined the Massachusetts campaign deserves his attention, so a haircut and Haiti will just have to wait."
My comments: It looks like the Dems have determined this campaign is a hill worth dying for - let's hope for a high body count...
